Good morning all,

I have an opportunity to get a leupold vx 3i lrp 6.5 20x50mm woth the CCH reticle for about $780, or I can get several other options at cost from a thing I won. I'm wondering if it's worth getting this vs say a vortex pst gen 2 or a Athelon Cronus BTR? Or any other suggestions? If it helps this is going to replace the Athelon Helos BTR 8-34 that is currently on my M99.
 
If the Cronus is in reach, get it.

I place it above the Viper and just under the Razor GenII.
 
Looks like the Cronus is decent. I love my vortex razor gen 2 so if it's close to that that's good enough for me.
 
I didn't like the Mark4 I had, the FOV was very narrow compared to other scopes.
I would personally go for the PST 2, at the same time as I had the Mark4 I had a Vortex HST which I kept and sold the Mark4, and the PST 2 is a huge improvement over the HST.
